“It’s very special for all of us. You hope, you hope, you hope, but you don't really know until you're actually able to get her, and make sure she's OK. So it's very important that this has a happy ending," Philadelphia Police Commissioner Charles Ramsey said.

Unlike most stranger abductions, Carlesha's story had a happy ending thanks to the hard work of federal and local law enforcement officers.

"He’s a thug and this is what he does apparently," said Philadelphia Police Commissioner Charles Ramsey. “He’s a vicious predator. He’s off the streets."

After receiving a tip from the public, police found Barnes' Ford Taurus using the GPS tracking device that was installed in the car by a car dealership. The GPS was installed because Barnes had bad credit.

Barnes and the victim were in the backseat of the car when agents arrived, but he quickly jumped into the driver's seat to try and flee, Jones said. Agents blocked his way and took him into custody.

Freeland-Gaither screamed hysterically for help as the arrest was taking place, telling the agents she was the woman who had been abducted in Philadelphia, Jones said.

"Once she had time to process what had happened you could tell she was emotionally distraught," he said.

Barnes, who has ties to Philadelphia, apparently attacked Freeland-Gaither at random, detectives said. He is being held on an warrant for attempted murder of a 16-year-old girl last month in Charles City County, Virginia.

Detectives got a break in the case from a woman living in Havre De Grace, Maryland. In her driveway, the woman found a bag of trash that included a receipt from an ACME supermarket in Northeast Philadelphia, a bag of Herr's potato chips and shattered glass.

The woman, who asked to remain anonymous, told NBC10 that she initially thought it was just trash, but later called authorities after talking to a friend about the case.

I'm SO HAPPY right now!!!! Thank God Carlesha's back!!! :woot: We needed some GOOD NEWS today!!!!

@The Pearl,

Ezackly....it's refreshing to hear about some good news for a change.

Sidebar - I hope he serves the rest of his life behind bars. Some people just can't be rehabilitated, for whatever reason. I thinkif he is allowed to roam amongst civilized society, he would eventually graduate to murder, if he hasn't already.

My mama just told me the teen he burned and raped is still in the hospital

The Pearl!

I really, really hope ppl stop insisting that they think she knew this dude. Its just a thought that will lead to the victim somehow being responsible, instead of somebody bum ass buddy up top. ^^^

Chit grinds my gears.

I know they are simply ecstatic.

I was one if those people. It done matter if she knew him or not, I don't think it was HER fault. There wrote just some things that didn't add up. The fact that he took her to MD, she just moved from MD. He parked his car, less than give minutes later he snatches her. I'm glad she found. Don't need to know the relation. We had questions. We on SR are CSIs. Got the certificate from ICDC.

I'm glad she was found safe. What difference does it make if she did know him?! I know some crazy people & if they harmed me I would still be a victim

The freak was he doing out? I haven't been really following this story so afraid if the outcome. But thank God this child's life was spared. People don't understand what's going on. These things are not flesh and blood.

Ricky Smiley (don't judge me) said they should cut off his arms, legs, and just make him a pillow. yep, cut off everything you effin idiot. LEAVE FOLKS ALONE. Hell, we're all out here struggling and trying to make the little we have work.
